So then, the car is one that simply came from Yenko Chevrolet as a 396 and is now turned into a rare SYC one, correct? Thus, the car is bogus, with certain people knowing that, correct?

I think what happened was it was restored and papered and then sold a few times as a 427 car with all the new owners duped into thinking they had a 427 Nova. That being said if it turns out to be a 396 car I believe the current owner will take the steps to correct the car and still show it as it is a #1 car just the same. 427 or 396 the current owner has nothing to hide and should not be worried about showing it.

Has anybody besides myself ever made an issue of the current #27 69 ZL-1 (ex Reggie Jackson) being a totaling fabricated/cloned Camaro with NOT ONE part except the VIN TAG having ever been part of the Original #27 (ex Chuck S and Alan Green/Dick Tutino).........and Ed Cunnen certified this !!!!!

[JChlupsa]

Chuck, It has been mentioned before but since it was your old car and you have all the info some here would like to hear more on it. If I understand you right theres a rebodied ZL1 out there someplace?? Anyone know the current owner and wonder if they even know its a rebodied car.

[Charley Lillard]

Chuck..Most of us know the rebody story on # 27 and that you used to own it. I think what Ed certified was the vin being ZL1 # 27. You might not like the fine print but I think that is what his certificate says. The red Yenko Nova is a little different because he is certifying it as a 427 Nova according to his records but new info from the Nephew that it was sold new as a 396 car.

[vfitom]

On the Nova, shouldn't the restorer have known? And what records did Cuneen have to base his certification on? Were they legitimate, or false?

Shortly before this thread started I was speaking with an aquaintance concerning Ed Cunneen and the reason he stop certifying cars. The aquaintance told me Ed had been sued over a red 69 Yenko that was sold and had been certified by Ed. The new owner had sued Ed thus causing him to stop doing Certifications in the future.

Does any one know of this story and is this true?

I'm reluctant to post this story but believe that when people's reputations are involved the worst thing is for rumor and gossip to lie in the dark. The truth can stand in the light!

This is true. However, your reference to a 'red yenko' pertains to a '69 lemans blue Yenko Camaro that was painted red, and had houndstooth interior, etc.... This situation is completely different and independant of this Nova situation. We can discuss the 'red' Y-Camaro subject in a different thread if you like, so as not to divert the attention from the original topic.

MikeA;

The '69 Yenko Nova was last owned in PA by a Mr. Angeletti who sold it to Mitch Moore and Mick Price.

Dyer bought the car from Price/Moore.
Holub bought the car from Dyer, and had it cert'd by Ed.
Hand bought the car from Holub.
Ockerland bought the car from Hand.
Ohler bought the car from Ockerland.
Ohler sold the car to the current owner.


The silver deuce pics are out! I've taken a lot of heat over the years bec/ of that car, what a vindication when I saw those pics a while back. The real silver deuce body was not too bad, much better than several resto candidates. It was a simple decision to go the cheap way out, and use the '70 Forest Green 307, a/t car as a body donor. We can start a different thread for this topic too, but suffice to say that most people should be noticing a pattern when certain people/groups are involved - just take a look at the 'banner boyz'.
